This is true. I wrote a sandbox for applications shipped on an immutable distro last month and it uses all the same portals just fine but no ostree/flatpak whatsoever.

You also can have separate portals implemented with different processes if you, you know, use d-bus properly.

They are real for some. I have Aphantasia but my wife has Hyperphantasia so we compare notes often. Each of us are at the edge of the spectrum.

I didn't understand flashbacks in movies until about a decade ago when I realized I had it. What a corny and lazy story-telling-tool I'd tell myself.

Very much depends on what you look like.

I'm white, but my wife is not. The moment you step out of Portland the racism is palpable. And even in Portland you have a bunch of white people that try so hard to not be racist that they come off super awkward and weird.

It's a thing.

Not that France isn't, but it's different. Some white guy was cat-calling my wife the other day in Mandarin. She is not Chinese...

It's awesome. I moved to France from Portland, Oregon this year. I went from 1gb to 8gb fiber for half the cost in France.

This was something I would have never understood living in the US until I moved to France 4 months ago. And yeah, as much as I dislike the company, those lockers are clutch.

Does it still completely screw up file/group owners in user containers? Because they keep saying it gets fixed and then that 1 out of 10 times it's not.

> I found it hard to believe we couldn’t get a wakeup timer more granular than 1 ms, so I looked at what KWin was using. Indeed, it was passing the sleep duration in milliseconds to a QBasicTimer.

I fixed the same thing in GNOME a few years ago across GLib, GTK, and Mutter/GNOME Shell. It required getting glib onto ppoll() finally.

This feature (fibers in systemd) was also modeled after libdex (which I wrote for GNOME).

The good news is that before writing Ptyxis, I also ported GNOME Terminal to GTK 4 and doubled the performance of VTE. So you know, use whatever you like.

Almost all of that is Mesa shaders and GTK's CPU side font-cache for GL/Vulkan, compiled CSS state, FWIW.

If you run:

GSK_RENDERER=cairo ptyxis -s

You can verify that with 69,985 here RES and 52,428 of that SHR. With 5 tabs open it jumped to 71,208 here. Presumably for the encrypted scrollback pre-allocations.

You still may not choose to use it, but it should stay relatively similar the more tabs you open.

Also, it's not a core GNOME app. It's just an app I wrote for me that the distros seem to have liked for its design/platform integration.

In most cases you're already using signalfd in places where libdex runs.
